Well - I got the call.....Both of the boys made their AAU teams. It is such a great privilege for them both. They are going to get great coaching and be able to excel at a sport they love. I am sure you will be hearing from us a lot during our adventures in AAU. Go Bombers!!!!!

Today begins 6 days with out my hubby. He has left for St. Cloud, Minnesota to watch our son Austin at the USA Hockey Festival for 15 year olds. It should be a good time. He is staying with my dad in the hotel while Austin stays in a dorm with his fellow players. Mike will miss Austin's first two games, but will ge to see pratices and the next 2 games he plays. Tonight he is excited to be going to a barbeque with all the Michigan families that are there. He wil get to see many people he has not seen in a while.

I must say I am torn. I am looking forward to having time to myself when the kids go to bed and cathcing up on some reading, scrapbooking, and the like yet I am going to miss him and wish we could all be there together. Such is life!! He will be in touch regularly and is going to have a great time.

Tonight was the second round of tryouts for the boys for an AAU Travel baseball team called the Bombers. R.J. tried out for the U12 team and Mikey tried out for the U13 Team. We are really hoping they both make their teams. R.J. has a better shot as there are more open spots on his team. tTey both did great and we are very proud of them for doing their best. We will find out by tomorrow if they made it!!!! Keep your fingers crossed:)

I just learned about what a meez was tonight. I thought it was so cute and looked like fun so I went ahead and made one of me.If you know me well you know this is sooo me. I love to talk on the phone and this was their version of a backyard pool. Ours is not nearly as luxourious but we are there all the time. I was hoping you could do more than one action at a time like talk on the phone, fold laundry, and care for the baby all at once - lol - but no such luck.

About Me

I am a busy mom of 8 beautiful children. We spend a lot of time homeschooling, playing baseball - among other sports, and hanging out with our family and friends. I like to talk with others, read, and just hang out. In my spare time -haha - I like to just sit down and relax wth a good book. My children and husband are my joy and my delight! I thank God everyday for the family He has blessed us with. He is truly faithful and good to those who serve Him.
